Aurelio De Laurentiis has publicly confirmed Napoli's interest in signing Kevin De Bruyne from "Manchester City". The Italian club's president revealed that negotiations for the Belgian midfielder have been ongoing for several months.
"The idea to sign De Bruyne was born 3 months ago. De Bruyne is a champion, we all know this. This summer there will be several transfers," De Laurentiis stated when addressing the potential move.
The 34-year-old Belgian international has been a cornerstone at "Manchester City" for years, establishing himself as one of the premier playmakers in world football. His potential move to "Napoli" would represent one of the biggest transfers of the summer window.
Interestingly, this approach for De Bruyne signals serious ambition from the Naples club. The creative midfielder would bring exceptional passing range and vision to the Italian side's midfield department.
The Belgian star's contract situation at "Manchester City" appears to be reaching a critical point. Worth noting that De Bruyne has consistently been the driving force behind City's success in recent seasons.
Can the Italian club actually pull off such a significant transfer? The coming weeks should provide more clarity on whether the Belgian maestro will be playing at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium next season.
